I do love a bit of snook' every now and then and the Essex Exocet, Ronnie "The Rocket" O'Sullivan has reaffirmed my faith with one of the most awesome 147 maximums I've ever seen! And he did it to win the match. ?157,000 for about 8 mins work. Not bad, son, not bad at all.


You can watch it again (and again) on BBC iplayer but no doubt it'll be on again this evening on BBC2.


Anyone else a fan? Anyone else fancy a game? I haven't played for years but used to be alright. I'm better at American pool though if anyone know's a local venue for a knock-about on the green baize.


Edited for appalling grammar, punctuation and spelling

I used to have a sort of dismal fascination with the game. It was easy to get drawn in, but it also sent me into a bit of a trance. It was only later, after not having played for a while, that I finally decided that I don't actually like it that much. (As for why I didn't notice this sooner, I blame the aforementioned trance.)

Funnily enough I went to a place in East Dulwich today to sign up for membership to a place just off LL(the street name eludes me)that has 5 snooker tables(2 quid an hour). Its a proper old social club too so cheap beer and cardboard beermats too. I'll get back to you with the address sometime tonight.

I'm afraid of Snooker, ever since my Dad took me to his snooker club (Christmas Eve treat.. 'the wife' too) and I was distressed to discover that the table itself it literally the size of half a football field.


Better to stick to pool, where any idiot with zero hand-eye coordination (that's me) can sink a couple of balls if you hit the hard enough and hope for the best.

I?d be up for a game, I like snooker me. As for watching it, well I?d rather be bored thanks.


If the thought of playing with small balls on a big pitch whilst scrutinised by the portraits of long dead Tory PMs or actually having to leave the borders of ED is too daunting, ?tis always the option of pool at the Gowlett or The Castle.

Remember this?

All together now....


"Snooker loopy nuts are we

Me and him and them and me.

We'll show you what we can do

With a load of balls and a snooker cue.


Pot the red and screw back

For the yellow, green, brown, blue

Pink and black.


Snooker loopy nuts are we

We're all snooker loopy!"



No?


Just me then.

      Thames Water meter rip off?

      By Rumbero · Posted

      Thanks for taking the trouble to do the calculation.  To be honest, it’s never occurred to me to report it online.  I’ll have to look into it.  I’ve just spoken to the ‘helpline’ and, after listening to ten minutes of some, admittedly, not too disagreeable jazz music, eventually got through to the call centre.  After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, during which the operator was clearly reciting from a script, the essential question of why I continue to be billed by the RV method, despite their insistence on fitting a meter three years ago, went unresolved.  At first they couldn’t confirm whether I had a meter at all (not their department) but then agreed that I do have one but that it’s ’inactive’ (despite clearly recording usage as detailed above). I was told to contact the ‘meter department’ separately on a different number (Mon-Fri only) and was then asked if I wanted to sign up for various ‘pensioner’ benefits, none of which I understood (probably because I am a pensioner) before being asked to provide ‘feedback’, which I politely declined.  Looking forward to listening to some more jazz on Monday morning though.

      That would be 78.231 m3, that is 78,231 liters.  The average water consumption per person in the UK is around 141 liters per day I believe.  So I'd say you're doing very well 👍 Have you tried to report your reading online?

      Apart from potentially saving money (which TBF is more likely if there are fewer people living in your home) it is better for the environment to have a  water meter,  as you have an incentive to use less water. But roll on the re-nationalisation (is that a word?) of the water companies, before our green and pleasant land is covered with raw sewage. And so that the money from our water bills goes to improve the infrastructure rather than lining the pockets of already rich people. Vote Green! Ooops sorry, that's another thread.
